Wine with Patch

[SJerry421]

Hello i was wondering if anyone could write me a step by step on how to install Wine with the wow patch from http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11674#c64 I have tried before and failed. I don't want to have to go back to Windows because the only game I play is giving me FPS issues.

Ok So i Have installed wine doing these steps
sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.5
apt-get source wine 1.5
cd wine1.5-1.5.4
patch -p1 < ../rgl.patch
./configure --enable-win64
make
The problem is when i run ./wine64 /home/jerry/WoW/Launcher.exe I get an error at the bottom of terminal that says
wine: failed to initialize: /usr/local/lib64/wine/ntdll.dll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi

Open a terminal and type

sudo updatedb

Enter your password. It will not be echoed to the screen. This will update the database of where items are stored on your computer.

then type

locate ntdll.so

Post the results back here.

Kind regards

Hi

wine: failed to initialize: /usr/local/lib64/wine/ntdll.dll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director

Wine is looking in /usr/local/lib64/... for ntdll.so.

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/wine/ntdll.dll.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wine/ntdll.dll.so

ntdll.so is actually stored in two locations /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/... and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/...; one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit.

Maybe symbolic links would work.

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/wine/ntdll.dll /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wine/ntdll.dll.so

You may also want to create a symbolic link for the 32 bit ntdll.so library.

I don't actually use wine so i don't know if the above will work but try it.

Post back any errors. If there are erros then i will not be able to respond for a couple of hours.

Kind regards

Well I do appreciate the help here is the error

Hi

Doh ! My bad.

It should have been

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wine/ntdll.dll.so /usr/local/lib64/wine/ntdll.dll

I was getting ready to do some painting when i posted that Just having a quick break from it now.

Kind regards
